Arizona

Hello all! We have arrived in Arizona and are busy at work preparing our buildings for the groups. Wednesday was a lonnnng day, we left the Turner home at 4:30 am to arrive at the airport for a 6:30 am flight. After traveling all morning, we arrived in Tuscon around lunchtime and drove to Sells. We cleaned and arranged sleeping quarters into the evening. Some of the church members heard we were here and stopped by to say hello and give us hugs,we sooooo love them! This morning we got a little sleep and then started in on the rest of the preparations....cleaning bathrooms, sweeping & mopping, organizing, re-stocking paper plates, towels, cups, etc. We have readied the VBS materials, supplies, and recreation equipment to go out into the villages.There is much to do, but we are excited about our first groups arriving on Saturday. Today, one of our board members, Barry Coffey, arrived from Birmingham. He will be joining us off and on over the next 3 weeks; we are excited to have him here.
